The Plan

I am going to watch the 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die. Actually, it's now 1187 movies, as of the 2015 edition of the book, when you include all movies from all editions.That number will continue to go up a bit each year as long as the book keeps getting updated. I'm using this list as a reference, but also checking out the book from the library along the way to read the descriptions that go with each movie.

I have no set timeline for this project, but will at least try to keep up a steady pace. I began on January 1, 2017. As of that time I had already seen approximately 117 of the movies on the list, but will still be watching all of those as I come to them.

One last thing: I am not a film critic, nor even a film studies student. I've watched a fair number of movies in my life, but not an extraordinary number, and I have zero experience reviewing them or picking them apart in any way. I'll be learning as I go!

I look forward to chatting about movies with anyone who stops by this blog! And please let me know if you're attempting a similar feat!
